With a reasonable amount of time and effort one of the machines can rapidly restore a tired, worn, or dirty looking wooden floor back to a nearly new condition. A drum floor sander works by way of having a revolving "drum" that rotates at a very high speed, fitted to this is a sheet of sandpaper (in a loop fashion) which sands away the top layer of your flooring surface. 

Using different grades of abrasive sandpaper allows you to get the exact finish that you need to suit your Sheffield home or property, and after the job has been done you can apply a clear or coloured varnish, a coat or two of protective floor lacquer, or simply leave the floor in its natural state. 

A drum floor sander machine is a power tool that works in an upright position, much like a floor polisher or an upright vacuum cleaner. Most models operate off a standard household 240v electric supply for convenience and versatility in most types of domestic properties. 

Dust collection

When you hire a floor sander from your local tool hire shop in Sheffield you will also be supplied with a dust collection bag. This attaches onto the sanding machine and is used to collect the majority of the dust particles which the sander produces. 

Depending on the model of machine supplied this bag could be a disposable plastic bag that is supplied on a consumable sales basis, alternatively it could be a reusable cloth bag that can be used repeatedly. 

Some models can also be connected to a vacuum cleaner or dust extractor machine for slightly enhanced performance in the dust extraction. 

Sand paper choice 

Most tool rental shops will offer you a choice of different grades of sandpaper when you rent a drum floor sander machine. These range from coarse, medium, through to fine.

You will need to select the right abrasive paper grade to use with the machine dependant on the state and type of wooden floor that you intend to sand.

If the floor is very old and covered in many layers of old paint or varnish you might want to use coarse sandpaper first followed up with lighter grades later on.

If alternatively you only need to lightly sand away a top layer of bare wood then fine grade abrasive paper may be all that is needed.   

Protective safety equipment

As with the use of all power tools it is important that you use as much protective safety equipment as possible, in-line with the job you are undertaking as well as any risks that may be present as regards possible damage to your furnishings in your property or injury to any parties. 

A circuit breaker (rcd device) should always be used as well as the following:
  • Overalls, coverall, or old suitable clothing
  • A Dust protection mask
  • Safety glasses or goggles
  • Safety footwear (boots or shoes)
